Welcome to New Ulm - MN Just For Kix!

Hey guys, I’m Sol and I have been Coaching since 2019! Dance is something I always look forward to and I’m so thankful to be able to keep doing what I love after graduating high school. I graduated this past year and taking a semester off college while I work as a NAIT and of course a dance coach! I have been dancing since 2010 and danced all styles but lyrical would have to be my favorite, and this year I get the chance to coach middle lyrical/jazz which I’m really looking forward too. I’m beyond ready to get back into coaching and out on the dance floor

My name is Courtney Hansen. I am originally from North Branch, MN. I joined St. Peter's Just for Kix community in 2020 and I couldn't be more honored! I have been dancing since the age of 5 and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. In high school I was a part of the dance team for 4 years. I was lucky enough to be a captain for two of those years which sparked my interest in teaching dance. I had taught a couple of classes and camps at my previous studio Fancy Dancin. Once I had graduated high school I decide to pursue my passion of dance at Minnesota State University of Mankato! My plans are to graduate in the Fall of 2022 with a degree in Private Studio Teaching and minor in Marketing. Out of my years of dancing, my favorite style of dance is hip-hop although I love all forms. I am excited to see what this season brings and cannot wait to meet everyone!!
